We should win this going away, as long as we rebound and don't stand around. If we can manage to do this at the same time as keeping Dix in hand, well we move on 86-77.
-
Operation 'Force Fran's Retirement' is scheduled to commence @ 5:30 this evening.
Can't wait
-
I don't want Fran to retire. Given the way he's recruiting, I want him to stay forever.
-
we blow two ten point leads and lose in OT when KJ misses 2 free throws down 1
-
Let's go. Is MJ back today?

Yeah but you're an idiot.
-

Yes.
And Fran should stay.
-
Riley and Scottie. Just me or do they seem to share a lot in common in the court?

Fouling a guy on a 3 isn't usually a good idea. 😂😂

Missed all 3 free throws. Only way to stop them…

we are so losing this game

Up 4 at half with them shooting 60% is pretty damn good…
-
Morez with 4 points and 2 rebounds in 4 minutes.
xxxx shoots 61% and 6-10 from 3. We're at 56. 19-8 in rebounds.
-
Should be up another 6 pts, we gave them 6 by not doing anything with 3 possessions in the beginning when up 2-0.
-

yeah but you think the stock market down 2000 points with 50% tariffs is pretty damn good
-

It was a flop, ball don't lie. That kid may have won a lot at Morehead, but man other than quick he is just not good.
-
The Iowa guards should start wearing down, especially Sandfort. Dix needs to be checked by White imo. Boswell is phenomenal so far outside a questionable 3 shot.
-
It’s too bad this nucleus won’t be back next year because they could be really special.
-
Was thinking what a high scoring half and there you go. Second highest ever.in BTT
-
Fran with the Custard impression
-
Fran adding to his legacy.
-
!!!!!!
We're shooting over 50% from 3 on 23 attempts and winning the boards 32-15.
-
here comes the nut punch
-
They’re hanging around…
-
If Fran gets canned tomorrow we ended Indiana and Iowa's coaches in the same season. That's as banner worthy as the Elite Eight.
-
Well, didn't finish all that great, but man can we do some damage IF we play that way for the rest of this year.
Good thing Maryland doesn't have anyone named Sandfort....that kid balled out today.
-
Booth didn't make it in for a minute? He will be ushered out I am sure in the best interest of all.

Beat Iowa and Fran gets tossed. Great fucking night!

Make sure to make a healthy donation to our NIL collective to help keep the studs here another year.

If I had enough money to get KJ to stay another year I'd buy an NBA team and draft him instead.
-
I may be in the minority, but with the way KJ has played the latter part of the season, T/O's as high as they are, the team overall is playing way better when he is our 3-4-5th scoring option/box score total at the end of the games.
I like him getting us into our sets, he is not as good the latter part of the year driving and creating as he was early on. The league has caught up, and he seems to have hit a wall somewhat as well.
He will be a high draft pick, I just hope we keep Ivisic and figure out a way to make Riley see that he needs 1 more year.
-
KJ is gone, but we would be stacked if we could keep Riley, Morez, Ivisic, and the two seniors.
-
Dunno about KJ.
I was at Lakers Bucks game last night.
Not sure he can get separation consistently or shoot well enough at next level right now.
Will take him time.
Somebody will draft him on potential I guess and hope he turns into an Austin Reaves.
-
KJ's passing has been a disappoint lately. Like he just doesn't have that touch and vision and throws some balls that are like 4' off of mark.
-

he might need 1 more year to be a high level contributor, but someone will sign him on potential, and he can get paid big bucks, be in a big city, travel, learn from a pro coach and pro players. No brainer.

it's a lot easier to make those passes when the recipient is Joker or Doncic instead of Ivisic and Morez. The scouts wlll know that.

Fran gone…

Stock market must really be kicking your ass. Nine hundred and eighty-sixionaires are really feeling the pain. Hopefully you can get back into a car that has doors that move up and down instead of side to side.

This could tarnish Fran’s Iowa legacy.

Fran got ejected 2 times in 2 days, that's even a record for him!!
